Even at the time this was one star
Forget nostalgia, this game was terrible even at the time. The mid to late 90s was the time of "me too" RTS games cashing in on Warcraft the same way the early to mid 90s had a wave of cruddy FPS cashing in on Doom. This was released 2 whole years after the original C&C, and the same time as Starcraft. It's just embarrassing compared to those 2. It doesn't even come close to C&C's graphics despite being released 2 years later. In fact, the graphics are on par with Dune 2 from five years prior. THAT'S how far behind the curve this game was. Show Dune 2 and KKND gameplay to a millennial then ask them to identify which one is the pioneer and which one had 5 years to improve on things. So how about that gameplay? I've never seen an RTS deprive you of so much information. Your resources are hidden by default and must be enabled to see. There are no names or icons for stuff on the build screen which wouldn't be that bad if the graphics were decent enough to tell them apart. You have no idea how much damage, armor, or health anything has. The shotgunner is 50% more expensive than the bow & arrow guy. Is he 50% better? Why isn't the research center unlocking any new units? You will never figure it out on your own without reading the manual. There are SO many better RTS on GOG for the same price. In fact, I'm hard pressed to think of a WORSE one. If you want a traditional C&C type one, pick up Act of War. If you want to pick up one from the same time just to see how sad this game was even in 1997, pick up Battlezone. KKND is just a waste of time for anyone not jonsing for nostalgia. Hell, even if you are nostalgic for it, I'd advise to keep it a happy memory and not try to play it again today.
